Addressing Adversity

To raise awareness of the impact of childhood trauma and adversity of young people's mental health.

Through Addressing Adversity we aim to build skills and capacity within the children's services workforce and help professionals to support the most vulnerable young people. 

By engaging various workforces across the country we are working towards practical changes within local systems to promote a more trauma informed approach.

The project is aimed at professionals working within the children's workforce and children's services commissioners.
